Um, I'm not a 100% total fan of Solaris anymore, but it's probably worth
mentioning that Solaris 8 INTEL does all of this too.  It has DiskSuite
as a free add-on that does many types of software RAID.

Solaris 9 SPARC/INTEL is supposed to have even better software RAID
capabilities available (similar to Veritas Volume Manager), but I
haven't had a chance to use it yet (downloading it now).
